This is the best Blossom skit.

Mayim Bialik was furious about it, too, because she wanted to record some music herself, and have it featured on the show. I remember the episode; at the end, Joey falls asleep on the sofa and "dreams" the music video. The song was produced by Steve Barri and Tony Peluso, two of music's all-time greatest producers. And the missing lyric from your comment: "Cause we were meant girl, me and you"...
